Two evacuation flights have been scheduled from Dubai to Accra, the capital of Ghana, on June 12 and 16. Besides, illegal expats have been granted amnesty and their fines for overstay waived, the mission said in a travel advisory.
Earlier this week, the Dubai Police rescued a group of expats who were reportedly living in a park in Satwa after losing their jobs due to Covid-19.
"Emirates Airline will operate two flights from Terminal 3 of Dubai International Airport to Accra on June 12 and 16. Ticket will cost Dh2,500 per passenger for economy class and Dh5,000 for business class," the embassy advisory said.
Booking and sale of air tickets will be only through Emirates' official website and at offices, starting from today.
The embassy notified that all nationals staying illegally have a chance to avail amnesty.
"Though the UAE authorities have granted amnesty and issued waiver of fines for persons who have overstayed their visas, the mission still entreats all evacuees to contact the nearest immigration office to assist them properly, clear themselves before proceeding to purchase tickets."
Once an air ticket is bought, expats need to forward documents like copy of ticket, passport, and contact and address in Ghana to the mission via WhatsApp numbers: +233-266787323 or +233-206446065.
All passengers will be subject to 14-day quarantine in Ghana.
